People around here freak out with the mention of a storm, last winter it was the snow, now it's Hurricane Earl. Grocery stores are packed with people and empty with food. Gas stations have no parking spaces. We are only in a warning for 12 hours total people, we aren't even set to be in the flood areas! People are canceling appointments like crazy! Schools are already closing. What's going on here, what's with this panic mode we go into now? It wasn't like this when I was a kid and we really got hit by storms. We were all fine. Pantry didn't go bare, we didn't run out of milk or bread. In fact, I have rather fond memories of having to share my little twin bed in my yellow room with my 18 year old cousin during Hurricane Gloria ;)
I just wish I could tell people to calm down, this too shall pass, and rather quickly. Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket, be it in the grocery store, or canceling your life long before we even know what is going to happen!
